Hi Guys

I'm working on a 1969 B and I'm in need of a replacement for this part that is on the Transmission (right side), see image below. I think it has something to do with the Reverse gear. I believe that the part just below the indicated part is the Reverse Light Control Switch.

As you can see in the image, the one I have is broken. Does anyone have one of these from an old 4 speed transmission (non-overdrive) that you would be willing to sell me?

Thanks
Kevin

I don't have any extra transmission peices laying around unfortunately. However, before replacing that I'd start by figuring out where the other half went. If its rattling around inside the transmission you may need a lot more than a single specialty cap....

Based on the photo which shows it to be hollow I am guessing it is a plunger cap, but I can't find a good exploded diagram showing that side of the transmission to confirm it.

I was able to remove all of the shards of the broken piece without issue. Drained the trans of fluid and will fill and drain some cleaner through before it goes back on the car. Fingers crossed all goes well.

Thanks
